Bilder Adam Friedrich Zürner (1679–1742) – Map of the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France / Regnum Belgiæ accurate delineatæ – Hand-Coloured Copperplate Engraving (1729)
Beskrivning
This decorative map titled Regnum Belgiæ accurate delineatæ was published in Nuremberg in 1729 as part of a rare atlas by Adam Friedrich Zürner. It shows the Low Countries in rich detail, including the Dutch Republic, Southern Netherlands, and bordering regions of northern France and the Rhineland. Cities such as Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, and Liège are prominently marked, while the coast is adorned with four sailing ships and a fine title cartouche in the upper left corner. This scarce edition features full original hand colouring and was issued in Zürner’s Atlas Augusteus Sauronicus, a monumental project that was left incomplete at the time of his death and later expanded by Pieter Schenk under the name Atlas Saxonicus.
Adam Friedrich Zürner (1679–1742) was a Protestant pastor and prolific German cartographer who served as royal geographer to the Electorate of Saxony and the Kingdom of Poland. Between 1711 and 1732, he produced over 900 maps and traveled over 18,000 miles across Central Europe. He was also responsible for organizing the Saxon postal road network, marking it with the iconic stone distance posts. His cartographic legacy is notable for its precision, administrative clarity, and decorative elegance. This edition was published in Nuremberg in 1729.
